So the process server I hired to serve the Summons/Complaint/Prejudgment Claim of Right to Possession indicated she tried 2 times last week and 1 time this week and each time she was confronted by an entire family in the SFD being vacated, who somehow moved in and would not give their names but informed that they do not know the named Defendant =LProcess server is mailing the proof of service into court (Los Angeles) but I am now wondering how does that work since per LA and OC websites' wording, that they expect even the Claim of Right to Possession be delivered (whether direct or substituted) to a named defendant?!

If so, you can find the posting with the Lubbock county clerk's office an contact the Trustee(Or Substitute Trustee)  Keep in mind if the answer is yes you are going to have competition as there are many people that track these for a living and will easily recognize the amount of equityIf is has not been posted as of yet, the next date will be the first Tuesday of June. 

I had everything cleaned with TSP substitute and then washed down with ammonia.  

The best thing you can do long term is get more familiar with rehab costs, and while reading books is a good first step, there really is no substitute for experience and learning to 'see' all the hidden costs. 

Always get the actual numbers when possible, then substitute conservative projections thereafter.

., before you sign the lease with your new tenant get the substitution verbiage out of your lease.

There is no substitute trustee filing so you must be in a judicial foreclosure state.

There is no substitute. 

Nothing can substitute a hard estimate based upon historical numbers.

There's no substitution for boots on the ground, although I imagine the tax situation could get very complicated, depending on how you structure a partnership.
